"I just wanted the pain to stop. What's so wrong with that?!"
Ren Blackwood, a teenage boy with a failing body, suffered through his torturous existence.
The doctors told him to fight. His family whispered false hope. But he knew the truth—there was no miracle waiting for him.
So he made a choice. He pulled the plug.
But death didn’t bring peace. It brought something far worse.
Instead, he awakens in The Wretched Vale, a horrific world where agony has no end. Where lost souls wander endlessly, trapped in never-ending cycles of suffering. Here, pain is eternal—and no one can escape.
While those around him became broken by torment, Ren refused to give in. Every death took pieces of him, both physically and mentally, as his humanity slipped further and further from his grasp.
To survive, Ren must face the horrors of this afterlife, confronting the darkest parts of himself.
Can he find a way to escape this endless cycle of death, or will he be lost to it forever?
In a world where suffering is unrelenting, can a soul truly break free—or does it become one with the torment?
